Comment on Do You Really Want To Give Up Your Freedom For Commitment? by Isaac

Isaac — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:36:18 +0000

I am a 29 year old man from the USA. I have been either single or in a long distance relationship my entire life except for six months in college. I have dated people from all over the globe, traveled to many amazing places, and done more in my few years than many people ever even dream of. Including living on a houseboat on the Amazon River, climbing the volcanoes in Guatemala, and just last week I spent an amazing time in the Alps in Austria! Now I am in Prague for about six months before I head home to the USA where marriage awaits me. I have enjoyed this single time in my life so much that I am scared to death that my marriage will bore me. I don’t need a lot to be happy but variety is the spice of life and for me it is the main ingredient. My fiancé is having trouble with my adventures ways. She doesn’t like it when I meet people while I am away from home. Even though I don’t do anything I shouldn’t it still doesn’t stop me from getting a “talking to”. I am trying to believe that marriage is going to be “enough” for me but I am scared that one year later I will be ready to travel again. I would just like to know what I can get from marriage that I don’t have now, and why I should give up what I do have for it?

Thank you for commenting, I have often had to struggle with my intuition but I focus more on what can give the best results. I often make decisions to avoid what scares me in dating but that isn’t always the best choice. I have to force myself to step outside the box, I suggest more singles do the same. Thanks for reading.

Comment on Being Single Is Awesome Why You Need To Embrace It by dug

I’m not sure why the quote would refer to singles not showering. Doesn’t it make a hell of a lot more sense that you would have better hygiene as a single? When you’re single you have free rein of tail to chase, not to mention work, academic, or personal goals. Makes a whole lot more sense to dress up for that. I tend to slack when I’m with someone, since I’m not concerned with pursuing every hottie I see.

Thanks so much for this honest piece of writing, I really appreciate it. I like it when you say ‘My gut might be telling me that intimacy is dangerous but my heart is telling me, if it’s love, it’s worth it.’ I am going to have to think about this some more……

Comment on Are Your Dating Expectations Realistic? by Jason Cadet

I agree. This is not just great advice for dating, but moving deeper into the relationship, this skill becomes critical. This also leads some folk spend a lot of time trying to change their partners to fit their standards and expectations.

Thanks for putting this out there!

Comment on Your Biggest Problem In Dating Solved.. Finally by Janu Sirasana

Hello,
I am a guy. I am on several dating sites. I am healthy, strong, active, single and I have a good career. I have everything going for me. I can communicate well.

When I go to a party or a dance I meet many people I know. I have my guy friends and I am also popular with women. When I introduce myself to a woman I am funny and confident. I flirt. Women flirt back. I do not hesitate to ask for a phone number and then call for a date. Women respond positively in person.

My difficulty comes with sending messages to women on a dating site. I write a message that shows I have read her profile and mentions a common interest or two. I ask a few questions, making sure there is an open ended one to spark a conversation. Most of my messages go unanswered. Some women do answer. But many of those who do will suddenly stop the conversation. Sometimes I find that she has blocked me from contact. Sometimes I get blocked when I suggest a date. Do I know what the problem is? I might suggest that I am rushing things and that is not safe for her. Or, on a deeper level, perhaps I am attached to the outcome when I ask for a date. I do know that my dumb jokes come off better in person, and look creepy when I type them out. So I stopped typing them out. Perhaps the problem is that my written notes are more formal, and less authentic than the real me. What do you suggest?

-Janu

Thank you so much for reading. I’m happy that you had the strength to head towards a better situation. Don’t get down on yourself. We all have experiences and they can help us grow or hurt us depending on the way we look at it. The worst thing you can do is blame yourself or think you aren’t worthy because of someone else. You deserve everything that you truly want out of dating. You deserve to feel good about yourself and I hope the person you were dating hasn’t taken that away from you. I am glad that I could help in anyway and I appreciate your comment.
